Lovingly built by its owners in 1996, this beautiful home offers the comfort of New England style, room to roam on over two and a half acres, and even a peek ocean view of the Pacific on a clear day. Mature landscaping paints a picture you won't forget including Giant Sequoias, an apple tree, chokecherry, white birch. hops, crawling wisteria, and, Oh! the Sugar Maples, how they turn orange in the fall. Layout provides one bedroom and full bath downstairs, 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths upstairs, including the master suite and balcony. There is also a generous walk-in attic, framed for dormers, making a perfect bunkhouse.
